Recently Twitter rolled out a new mobile website, and since Twitter offers a little greatness to everybody, we thought we’d explore some of the updates they’ve put into place.

On the Twitter blog, user experience lead, leland, summed up the changes like so:

Our new mobile web site is previewing today, just point your phone’s browser to http://mobile.twitter.com. Its got a great new look, and has some great new touches that will make your mobile experience on Twitter a bit more fun and a lot more helpful. Let us know if you agree and especially tell us how we can make it better.

Older reviews of the interface complained that it was too crammed and difficult to read, and wished there were more icons and images to break up the amount of text. In doing a simple image search for twitter mobile you’ll find a few images of the old interface, which definitely show how much of an improvement the current design changes are.

Twitter has always exhibited nice and clean, friendly design, so it’s great to hear that they are making sure their mobile site keeps up with that standard on all fronts. Take a look in the gallery below to see some examples of the improvements.

What do you think? Do you even use Twitter mobile or do you access Twitter through a specific client? Sound off in the comments.

You would think the people at Twitter would appreciate the use of m.twitter.com vs mobile.twitter.com

Ha, that was my first thought too. What friggin’ moron makes mobile users spell out “mobile”. Does Twitter already use the subdomain “m” for something else? Clearly, Twitter put alot of brain power into their mobile site.

m.twitter.com points to the old website, mobile.twitter.com points to the new one, which is still just a preview. They should point m to it… once it’s the official mobile website.
